Yadkin was formed in 1850 from Surry County. To see a township map click here: Yadkin Township Map

 

    Its name is derived from the Yadkin River which runs through it. It is in the north central section of the state and is bounded by Forsyth, Davie, Iredell, Wilkes and Surry counties. The present land area is 335.93 square miles and the 1990 population was 30,488. The first court was ordered to be held at Dowellton, at which time the justices were to adjourn to any place they wished until a courthouse could be erected. Commissioners were named to select a site for the courthouse as near of the center of the county as possible. Also, they were to acquire land and lay off a town by the name of Wilson. In 1852 an act was passed changing Wilson to Yadkinville. Yadkinville is the county seat.
